Erebidae, Erebinae, Thermesiini, Letis sp. Unfortunately there is a bulk of Letis sp. around and there are also variabilities and color aberrations within the genus and species. So Letis are very hard to ID. I did not have found yet an correct match and I do not trust most of the IDs on the web.
This one is most probably the same one as yours and most probably not Iphianasse:

Also a similar one, but I am sceptic about the ID:
